Quantization of energy lab Hypothesis: Make a prediction that describes the relationship between the composition of an unknown s
ubstance and its emission spectrum. For example, “If each element can be identified by its ______________, then the ____________ of an unknown star can be determined." variables: independent - dependent- control-
If each element can be identified by its spectrum then the composition of an unknown star can be determined
Explanation:
The chemical nature of the elements is that they absorb specific wavelength of light depending on their atom. By spectral analysis of the spectrum of emitted light by a body, the body's composition can therefore be determined. As such in order to determine the composition of distant bodies such as planets, stars and other celestial bodies scientists usually make use of spectroscopy.
